I made a game grub menu for today's ACC Championship Basketball game featuring our beloved Tarheels against the Florida State Seminoles. I'm not a huge sports fanatic, usually sports are just an excuse to grill and chill with friends. But college basketball is my favorite sport and March Madness is MY favorite time of the year. There is so much drama starting today with all of the underdogs, Cinderella stories, and upsets.

But first, funny story about last night. Trevor spent the night at his buddy's house with a dozen other 12-13 year olds for a birthday party and the police ended up getting called. It's not like it sounds though. Apparently they were being rambunctious and playing hide and seek at 10pm (on a Saturday night). A neighbor came down banging on the door to complain because it was making his dog bark. He was so belligerent to the single mother that other neighbors ended up calling the police on him. If he had complained to me I would have had to ask, "Were you ever a kid or did you come straight out of the womb as an @$$hole?"

Okay, back to the food. I'll cover Armadillo Eggs in another post but the stuffed Fritos...yeah, they are as awesome as they sound. They are kind of like a one bite taco, but even better. I learned about these from Frank From Houma on the GreenEggers forum in 2009. They are ri-donk-ulous as tailgating or party food but they don't hold for too long, so serve them right away.

And yes, you could do them in an oven. But it's beautiful, get outside and grill, you know you want to.

I thought of you often this weekend (even before I knew about the stuffed fritos) because I am on an Amish culinary tour and I cannot tell you how many Big Green Eggs I saw on Amish porches. I guess it makes a great non electric alternative. GREG

Seriously. Saturday night, dude! They could be doing a lot worse than playing hide 'n seek...sheesh. I love these little bites - they're like bite-sized frito pies. YUM. And that's a great action shot of the wing tossing, too.

Stuffed Fritos????? I'm smitten. I've also been wanting to make those Armadillo Eggs forE-VER! Being from Kansas and my hometown hosting the National Jr. College BB Championships, I was born with College Basketball in my blood. And did I mention KU? yeah baby. And really... Mr. Mean call the police guy???? Really?

I'm all about Fritos!! Why didn't I think of this?!?! I must buy two bags a week! This is like a gift, truly, I'm heading to the store to get cilantro - we'll be having these for dinner! Stuffed Fritos - amazing. I hope someone told that guy to get stuffed...without Fritos, that would be a waste. Waiting for the Armadillo eggs...sounds like good "bracket eating" food!

My favorite chips are Fritos...alas they are also the most caloric! Sigh. So I'm trying not to drool. But then if I make these for someone else and sneak one, there really aren't any calories right? Cuz you KNOW I'm going to make these right?
